Error running Checksetup in latest Bugzilla stable build

[eko...@drawbase.com]

When I run checksetup I receive the following error after EACH line of Checking For regardless of whether or not the item is found:

Use of uninitialized value $encoding in concatenation (.) or string at Bugzilla/Install/Util.pm line 607, <DATA> line 75

Any explanation on how to resolve this or if it is a problem would be appreciated. I am running the latest Active State Perl modules.

BTW, in both cases here is the information regarding Bugzilla:

This is Bugzilla 5.0.6 on perl 5.28.1 Mysql 8.1

That's a warning only, things might still succeed. Seems your setup is
incompatible with the code, so you need to debug things and might file
a bug. Put the following in place and see what gets printed,
especially recognize the WARN-lines.

> $encoding = Win32::Console::OutputCP();
> warn('Windows+Console, but NO encoding.');
> }
> else {
> my $locale = setlocale(LC_CTYPE);
> warn('Other with locale: ' . $locale);
> if ($locale =~ /\.([^\.]+)$/) {
> $encoding = $1;

> $encoding = "cp$encoding" if ON_WINDOWS;

Νεver Mind, - figured it out

I inserted the line where you pointed to. Ran checksetup and and received the following:


Other with locale: C at Bugzilla/Install/Util.pm line 604.

Does this mean anything to you?

[eko...@drawbase.com]

I downgraded my Activestate perl to the following:

Other with locale: English_United States.1252 at Bugzilla/Install/Util.pm line 604.

And the error message I was receiving has disappeared.

The suffix "1252" is what Bugzilla expected to find and didn't with
the former locale "C". This is worth filing a bug to make Bugzilla mor
compatible with such setup, though it would be good to know WHY "C"
was given with the newer Perl in your environment.

Do you want to file a bug or should I?
